Let Me Weep (Lascia ch'io pianga)

From Rinaldo

By George Frederic Handel / arr. David Marlatt

This beautiful slow piece is ideal for that change of pace piece on a concert. Its lyric nature also makes it a perfect selection for weddings or church services as pleasant, quiet background music. This work was originally a soprano aria, and the lyrical line is great to demonstrate the singing quality of the clarinet.
